Grease trap cleaning in Aldermaston, done properly
We clean grease traps for kitchens in Aldermaston, whether it’s an under-sink unit or a larger inline trap. We come when the sinks aren’t needed so washing up is not interrupted. We are often asked to deal with washing-up water that won’t drain away and a grease trap that hasn’t been emptied in a long time, across restaurants and takeaways, under-sink grease traps and pot wash sinks.
For a kitchen in or near Aldermaston, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Grease trap cleaning around Aldermaston
The FSA’s data shows about 3 hotels and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Aldermaston. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. We cover Aldermaston, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Aldermaston are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Aldermaston C.E. Primary School or anywhere near Aldermaston, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Aldermaston, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Aldermaston questions
Can the work in Aldermaston be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Aldermaston can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Aldermaston?
Food hygiene inspections in Aldermaston are carried out by West Berkshire council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or so for an under-sink trap, longer for a larger unit. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Aldermaston, let us know and we will plan around it.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- We open the trap and look at its condition.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Drains that need jetting rather than trap cleaning
- A unit that cannot cope with the kitchen’s output
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Kitchen waste pipes
- Under-sink grease traps
- Restaurants and takeaways
- School and care home kitchens
- Inline grease traps
- Pot wash sinks
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. That only moves the grease further down the pipe to set somewhere harder to reach. Emptying and cleaning the trap deals with the source. It’s simpler to plan the work at Aldermaston now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why Aldermaston businesses choose us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Hot water only moves grease further down
- Let us know if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t wait for a blockage to book a clean
- Never pour used oil down the sink
Scrape plates into the bin before washing up. Sink strainers help catch solids before they reach the trap.
If the sinks are slow or smelly, the trap may be full. Acting at this stage typically prevents a blockage later.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Aldermaston
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
